This adds a IMDB Search item to the Options popup to search for information on a program, and you can also search for anything/anyone using an on-screen keyboard.

Installation

  • Download the STV and Java zip file (v4 is for SageTV 5.0 and earlier, V6 is for SageTV 6.0 and later),
  • unpack the contents into your SageTV directory (normally C:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV) taking care that the file paths are preserved.
    This will create STVs/SageTV3/imdb_search_import.stvi and 2 JAR files in the JARs subdirectory
  • Restart SageTV
  • You now have an 'Imdb Search' item in the online services menu, and the popup for airings and media files.
  • If you are using the Dynamic Menu, you can also configure a new menu item in the to launch the internal screen named "ImdbSearch?", or copy the following MenuItemLet and in a dynamic menu page, do Options->New->Paste Menu Item 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE sageMenu PUBLIC "-//NIELM//DTD SAGEMENU XML 1.4//EN" "http://sageplugins.sourceforge.net/nielm_modules/dynamic_menu/sagemenu_1_3.dtd">
<sageMenu version="1.4">
    <internalScreenMenuItem screen="ImdbSearch" title="Search IMDB"/>
